Second Hand Style: Sustainable Design with a History
The second hand style is more than just a trend; it is a philosophy that embraces sustainability, individuality, and the charm of history. It is about discovering treasures and creating an interior that tells a story through repurposed items.
The Sustainable Designer’s Approach
-
Resource Consumption: This style offers a sustainable approach to interior design that reduces waste and resource consumption through reuse and upcycling.
-
Unrepeatable Character: A hallmark of the second hand style is a unique blend of different styles and materials that cannot be replicated with new items.
-
Curation of History: From antique furniture to vintage finds and repurposed decorative elements, this decor creates an interior filled with personality.
-
Inspiration through Discovery: It focuses on the “hunt” for unique pieces that give a home an inspiring and rediscovered feel.
The Second Hand Palette
Because this style relies on found objects, the palette is often eclectic and organic.
-
Color Palette: The colors vary depending on the items being repurposed, but they often feature earthy and natural tones that ground the diverse mix of styles.
